Gave you the forest of the ages
You took an axe and cut it down
Gave you the heartbeat of the sunset
You cast a cloud and blocked it out

I gave endless fields to grow upon
But you swallow up so fast
Gave you an ocean of tomorrows
That may quickly come to pass

Don't bite
Don't bite
Don't bite
Don't bite
Bite the hand that feeds you no more

I gave you fire, water, earth, and sky
Muscle, blood, and bone
I am the mother of your beating heart
The only one you've known

I gave you hearts to feel with, eyes to see
But I do not understand
Why my rivers flow so bitterly
Why my raindrops burn the land

Don't bite
Don't bite
Don't bite
Don't bite
Bite the hand that feeds you no more
